The life of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church continues to be shaped by worship, study, and fellowship as we walk together through the season of Lent. Below are several important events and announcements for the coming days and weeks. We encourage all members and friends of the congregation to take note, participate, and invite others to join us in the rich liturgical life of the Church.

Easter Flower Orders — Last Call
This Sunday is the final day to order Easter flowers. Help us prepare a beautiful sanctuary as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. Easter flowers may be purchased for yourself, your family, or in loving memory of someone dear to you. These flowers serve as a visible confession of the new life Christ gives through His victory over death. Please contact the church office with questions or to place your order.
Lenten Soup Suppers and Midweek Divine Service
All are warmly invited to our Lenten Soup Suppers each Wednesday at 5:45 PM, followed by the Midweek Divine Service at 7:00 PM. These evenings provide a meaningful rhythm of fellowship and worship during Lent. Share a simple meal, enjoy conversation with fellow members, and then gather in the sanctuary as we hear Christ’s Word and receive His gifts. Bring a friend — all are welcome.
March 1 Worship — The Second Sunday in Lent (Reminiscere)
In ancient times this Sunday was called “Remember Sunday,” drawn from Psalm 25:6: “Remember your mercy, O LORD!” This cry teaches us how faith clings to God’s promises even when circumstances seem uncertain. In the Old Testament reading, Jacob wrestles with God and refuses to let go until he receives a blessing (Genesis 32:22–30). In the Gospel, the Canaanite woman persists in faith, trusting Jesus even when He seems silent (Matthew 15:21–28). Great faith clings to the Lord and prevails.
The Church’s prayer on this day is simple and honest: “Remember Your mercies, O Lord.” Lent teaches us to acknowledge our weakness while placing our hope fully in Christ’s steadfast love. The Collect reminds us that of ourselves we have no strength, and we depend entirely on God’s power and grace.
